It looks like these guys are rolling logs off of the flat bed truck onto the saw mill. There is also another piece of machinery under the logs near the truck, a pulley wheel can be seen attached to something.&nbsp;</p><br />Date: 02/26/2023]]></description>

One at the top left, two at the top right, two standing upright in the center, three at the right behind the wall supports and one on the left seen through the scaffolding. The main posts are not sawn but are trees with the bark removed.</p><br />Date: 02/26/2023]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[<a title="WPA Camp David 1939 JAK 001A in Camp David" href="https://thurmontimages.com/Camp%20David/WPA+Camp+David+1939+JAK+001A.jpg"><img src="https://thurmontimages.com/cache/Camp%20David/WPA%20Camp%20David%201939%20JAK%20001A_240_thumb.jpg?cached=1706833542" alt="WPA Camp David 1939 JAK 001A" /></a><div dir="auto" style="text-align: center;">I just picked up this neat little photograph advertised as WPA (Works Progress Administration) workers at Camp David. The back of the photo says "May 1, Bldgs at Thurmont Natl. Park Service 1937" along with a handwritten note saying it was at Camp David. Of course, in 1937 it was not known as Camp David and this may not have been taken there. The WPA did erect many buildings on the National Park property and this is certainly a very interesting photo. At first glance, it looks like a building being put up, but a closer look shows a lot more activity.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: center;">The WPA was the largest and most diverse of the New Deal public works programs. It was created to alleviate the mass unemployment of the Great Depression and by the time it was terminated in 1943, the WPA had put 8.5 million Americans back to work.<br />As can be seen, there are piles of sawn lumber on both sides of this view and a couple of men can be seen in the back corner standing on some wood. There are what look like rafters in the foreground and some sort of scaffolding down the center of the framing.</div><br />Date: 02/26/2023]]></description>

Camp David was originally established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was known as "Shangri-la". President Eisenhower renamed the Presidential Retreat in 1953 after initially considering closing the facility. The name was changed to honor his grandson David Eisenhower.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: center;">On September 29, 1955, President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack. The world was shocked to hear of his heart attack, and after recovering, President Eisenhower returned to his arduous duties. Here we see him presiding over a Cabinet meeting held at Camp David near Thurmont after his recovery. He is surrounded by Cabinet members L-R Post Master General Arthur E.Summerford, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson.</div>

The Job Corps was conceived during the Kennedy administration in 1962 as a program to address high teen unemployment rates.

Sargent Shriver, the first Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity,&nbsp;modeled the program on the Depession-era Civilian Conservation Corps&nbsp;(CCC). Established in the 1930s as an emergency relief program, the CCC provided room, board, and employment to thousands of unemployed young people. Since its inception in 1964, Job Corps has served more than 1.9 million young people.&nbsp;Job Corps serves approximately 60,000 youths annually at Job Corps Centers throughout the country.</p>
